Some compilers, such as DEC/Compaq's ccc, provide the __FUNCTION__ macro,
but not __GNUC__; this might cause problems. We don't really need
__FUNCTION__ anywhere, and in the places where it might be convenient, we
can usually use GFXDEBUG/GFXWARN/GFXERROR (gfx subsystem) or
SCIkwarn/SCIkdebug (kernel) instead.
